Brief Description: Canopy Install: Canopy Release 4

The release hinge block gets a bellcrank installed. I enlarged the big hole a little to make the bellcrank turn easier. I did this with a 1/2 drill bit and sandpaper. I matched the clocking of the bellcrank with the lever arm against the drawing and drilled the bolt hole. Then I located it on the sub-panel and marked the position where the bolt hit the sub=panel and made an oval cut out.
